Jo, I have found the Lindsey family (Joseph Lindsey the father) in Warren Co, NC, and his daughter Rebecca married Peter Reagan. Some sources guess at McCart but I am sure that this is the Peter Reagan and Rebecca who end up in Fentress Co, TN. Joseph Lindsey: Listed in the NC State census of 1784-87 in the Granville county section with 2 males 21-60 and 4 females. One slave. In the 1787 taxes of Warren Co, NC he is listed in Captain Daniel's Districe with 420 acres and white poll and 1 Black poll. Listed in Bute Co, NC in 1768 and was on a list to help build a road. Listed as a trustee in the transfer of property for the Presbyterian Congregation in Granville County, NC July 7, 1767. Joseph Linsey took the Oath of Allegiance in the Nutbush District of Granville Co, NC, in 1778. Abstracts of Warren Co, NC Will Book 7: 203--Will of Joseph Lindsey, 5 March, 1793; Nov, CT. 1794. Names: Wife Rachael; Sons Laban and Caleb (Extr); Daughters: Rebecca Ragan, Mary Hartgrove Searcy, Zellah Ragan, Milly Thurman, Darkas Lindsey, Sarah Lindsey, and Fanny Watkins. Co)Extr. Friend Dennis Paschal. Wit: Anderson Paschall (Jurat), Mary Paschall, and Dennis Paschall (Jurat). I hope this helps. I suspect that you and I are related through the Wright connection too. Sarah
